The brand new EU Batteries Regulation requires car and battery producers to cut back their batteries’ CO2 footprint so extending its service life by repairing it’s fascinating.

Higher aftersales information about battery well being may even be very important in constructing confidence so extra shoppers swap to pure electrical automobiles.

“Repairing and reusing used electrical car batteries is sensible from each a sustainability and an financial perspective. However, it isn’t finished sufficient, partly as a result of requirements and repair constructions are missing,” mentioned Alexander Döbelin, vice chairman of e-mobility international enterprise growth at Leadec which has been repairing high-voltage batteries at its battery competence centre in Hoyerswerda, Germany, since 2022.

The Lithium-ion battery restore white paper explains the modular construction of batteries and explains how fault evaluation and restore work. It additionally takes a more in-depth have a look at the mandatory necessities by way of security, storage, and documentation.

The workforce on the Battery Restore Heart (BRC) in Hoyerswerda has examined 230 battery-specific fault patterns and has discovered that along with mechanical harm, electrical and digital faults are the most typical, whereas electrochemical faults are uncommon.

It factors out that so long as a battery’s state of well being is above 80%, it may be reinstalled within the car after restore – normally inside 72 hours.

As an unbiased service specialist, Leadec has had expertise of high-voltage battery know-how since 2019 and presents companies alongside the complete worth chain.

Along with working the BRC, it pre-assemble battery elements and elements in addition to dismantles used batteries of assorted fashions and types. As well as, practical used modules are additionally saved for later reuse.
